Just as Ikki Kurogane and the others said, these robbers were truly lucky beyond imagination.
Who wouldn't they rob? Even if they robbed a Blazer, there was a high probability of success, as not all Blazers could withstand gun attacks.
But as fate would have it, the person currently standing in front of these robbers was not a Blazer at all, but an existence from beyond the starry sky.
For them, even if the power of an entire world were exhausted, it was uncertain whether any damage could be caused, let alone human conventional weapons.
In the Genshin Impact World, there is Elemental Power, which can attach various elements to attacks, so it is necessary to dodge.
In honkai: star rail, there is Path Energy, and even high-tech weapons are specially made. Without knowing the situation, it's better not to be hit.
But what does the world of Chivalry of a Failed Knight count for?
Perhaps the Blazers have various powerful forces capable of destroying the heavens and the earth, but that still doesn't change how ordinary this world's conventional weapons are.
Perhaps against ordinary people and weak Blazers, guns and shells can still produce good results, but in front of a truly strong person, they are ultimately insufficient.
Skirk, in the eyes of Ikki and the others, was an absolute powerhouse!
During the training of this period, even if Ikki and Arisuin went at it together, it was difficult to make Jingliu use her true strength. What about the other side?
Ikki had also asked about the situation on the other side, and it was exactly as he had thought...
One hand!
That's right, only one hand!
Skirk's strength far exceeded their imagination. With only one hand holding a sword, she could deal with both Stella and Shizuku simultaneously, and even appeared particularly relaxed.
This point had caused strong dissatisfaction from the two girls at the time, who demanded that Skirk use her true strength to duel them.
However, what did Skirk say?
"If I used both hands to fight you, the battle would probably end in an instant, and it wouldn't achieve the training effect at all."
"So, in order to truly have a battle with me and for the sake of improving your own strength, work hard at swinging your swords (training)!"
Look at that, two top Magic Knights going at it together, including an A-Rank Knight, and they couldn't even make Skirk use both hands to fight!
How could such a gap in strength be resolved by a robber with a gun?
Not being cut in half would be considered lucky!
—
Time returns to the present.
"Ha? What does you coming out have to do with me?"
"But since you're here, you definitely won't escape today. Let me enjoy myself first, then let the brothers enjoy themselves later!"
The robber with the gun didn't care at all about the gazes of the people around him. Instead, he stared straight at Skirk's great face, as if he would sink into it the next second.
But in reality, he had not only already sunk into it, but even intended to take certain actions.
Thump, thump, thump!
The man stepped with heavy footsteps and walked toward Skirk at the fastest speed of his life, reaching out to grab her, his target being the clothes on the woman's body.
What if it was in public?
He wanted everyone to see his prowess!
Not just the leading man, but even the masked underlings around him showed lecherous expressions, looking forward to what would happen next.
However, all of the man's actions appeared foolish to Ikki and the others on the roof.
If the four of them had any thoughts at this moment, they probably only had those two words...
It's over!
From the robber's perspective, he was clearly not far from Skirk, and could easily reach her in two steps.
But in the process of walking, his vision suddenly shifted downward, as if he had suddenly become shorter?
Why was this?
As the man's gaze slowly shifted downward, what came into view were two thighs oozing blood... from the knees down, they had long since vanished!
Accompanying this horrific image was unprecedented pain!
"Aaaaaah—! My legs! My legs!"
"Oh no! She's a Blazer! Brothers, attack quickly!"
For such a bizarre event, the only logical explanation is a Blazer.
Fear immediately welled up in the eyes of the surrounding robbers as they looked at Skirk. Their index fingers were poised to pull the triggers and unleash a hail of gunfire in her direction.
Skirk herself was not afraid of such an attack. Even if she stood still and let them shoot, they wouldn't be able to break her defense; after all, the attacks of Abyssal monsters were far more formidable than mere firearms.
However, she could not do nothing, for there were countless women and children held hostage around Skirk. If they were to get hurt, it would be a loss that outweighed the gain.
Thus, in a rare move, Skirk extended both hands and reached into the void, and two longswords instantly appeared in her hands.
"Teacher Skirk... is actually using both hands?"
"Quick, write it down! Maybe we can learn something from this!"
This scene was naturally observed by the four of them—Ikki and the others—from the upper floor. Stella and Shizuku, in particular, widened their eyes, watching everything, eager to imprint everything that was about to happen into their minds.
It was just that what followed seemed to differ slightly from what they had imagined...
"Flash."
Skirk's tone remained as cold and indifferent as ever, as if nothing around her could stir her emotions. She simply gazed coldly at the prey before her like a cunning snake, ready to kill with a single strike at any moment.
At that moment, the world around them seemed to turn gray, and even the trajectories of people's movements came to a halt—not like some blonde vampire getting hyped up.
But in this colorless world, the white-haired, red-eyed figure stood out, appearing to pierce through the space. Like a strange serpent, she effortlessly glided past each prey, stripping them of their sharpest fangs.
Swoosh!
In an instant, it was all over. Under Skirk's unparalleled strength, the gun-wielding arms of every single one of them were severed.
Thud, thud, thud!
The sounds of arms and firearms hitting the ground echoed one after another, causing the fear in the eyes of the robbers to grow ever more intense.
"Ahhh! My hand, where did it go?"
"She's a monster! A monster!"
No one saw what had happened at all, and even Ikki and the others observing from the high floor hadn't seen a thing.
But the blow this dealt to them was significant.
"What... just happened?"
"Teacher Skirk seems to have cut off their hands..."
"Did you see it?"
"No..."
Cold sweat couldn't help but trickle down Stella's forehead. She hadn't expected Teacher Skirk to be this strong; no wonder she could go toe-to-toe with Teacher Jingliu.
These robbers were unlucky to have run into her...
But soon, Stella thought of a new question.
Skirk and Jingliu, according to their own words, didn't seem to be demons?
If they were this strong without being demons, how powerful would they be if they became demons?
This was a question that would likely never have an answer.
